I HAVE TO TAKE MY HAT, off the Cleveland Browns signed Crennel to a extention earlier and now there on the verge of signing Derek Anderson to a 3 year extention.Cleveland is obviously,thinking of challenging for a Super Bowl in 2008.Now you have to ask yourself how long will Brady Quinn,sit still and play the nice soldier,he's a competitor how is he going to take it going into camp with no real chance of starting,unless a injury occurs to Derek,now Cleveland needs to draft a speedy running back in the draft, and they will be on there way ,signing Jamal Lewis is a no brainer.
Dallas gave up to much to get J Kidd,yes he is the second best point guard in the league,behind Steve Nash,but 2 number ones Devin Harris, a servicable big man in Diop,and a throw in in Keith Van Horn who came back for the 4 million ,and the Nets are also getting 3 million in cash.If the Mavs tank out early in the playoffs, the Nets got the better of the deal,now if Dallas wins the championship then Dallas came out ahead.Don't think they have enough to win it, though,its sad day when a player who hasn't won a title can pretty much say he wants out, and he gets traded to a team that he chooses like he has a right to a championship likes its owed to him.Plenty of players are doing this today,and it stinks.
Will Barry ever play baseball again I don't think so, and Roger will probably have to wait to he's 70 to get elected to the Hall of Fame,Barry probably 75 but they cheated when they didnt has too.Then again these 2 wanted to play until they were 50 years old and keep raking in the money,and pad there stats.
Are people still holding it against Winslow for his " Im a soldier rant" at Miami,or is it motorcycle accident,yes the youngan is arrogant and confident,but the young man is a talented football player,he has put up huge numbers for a emerging Cleveland Browns team,this is the second great year he has had and he isnt getting any love from his peers and fans except for the fans in Cleveland.There are great tight ends in the AFC Antonio Gates is one of them and Tony Gonzales is a another one but Winslow if he can stay healthy for ten years and keep this pace he may catch 1000 passes before he retires.He is that good.
Bill Parcells great coach in his day but he has had more jobs than Larry Brown,by the way Larry Brown use to be a basketball coach for lets see about 9 teams counting college.If Bill Parcells isnt a carpet bagger I dont know who is ,then again I can't blame him for taking Art Blanks money,he over pays for everyone from Vick to Petrino,now Parcells is going to get a christmas gift thats worth millions.
cOLLEGE COACHES not all of you but some, try not to promise recruits your going to be there for 4 years ,if you don't promise you can look at them same recruits in the face when you exit for more money at a new school,makes since to me thats the least you can do the players are the ones who help you get that fat contract in the first place.,MICHIGAN,ARKANSAS,NEBRASKA
Two Do you really believe Daunte thinks he's a backup on this Team
Three Why can't the raiders get Russell signed, last years number one got 54million,so 60 million in 2007 sounds right.QBs get paid more,most of the time.
Four Do you really believe Daunte is the right one to mentor Russell ?
Five Will Robert Gallery pan out so far the results haven't been favorable ?
Six Is Lamont Jordan healthy?
Seven How many games will the Raiders win in 2007 .I predict 7
I ask this because americians kill people on the regular and beat the charges or they use the crutch that there crazy.Hell I can rattle off case after case where people have killed people and said they were mentally impaired at the time.How about the lady in Texas , I believe she drowned all 5 of her kids and I believe shes in a mental hospital being observed.
How about the lady who shot her husband in the back,her husband was a preacher , I BELIEVED he wanted kinky sex with his wife ,and that was enough to set her off..She got no time.The nerve of the guy.
What about the inhumane way SOME Preist treat lil boys,and they go from one church to the next to continue there inhumane ways.There not even charged with a crime,now this brings me to Michael Vick.I believe he is guilty as sin but if he goes to prison for dog fighting you have to ask yourself is a dogs life more important than a human beings, what he is charged with is a crime I'm not debating that but ITS DOGS ,DOGS AREN'T PEOPLE,
THERE talking up to five years in prison ,5 years for for transporting dogs across state lines and fighting.Some murderers do less time.Hell if you were white and killed a minorities from 1860 up until 1970 and you hailed from a southern state 9 times out of 10 you wouldn't been charged with a crime at all.IF you think I'M rambling look at the history,oh I forgot the justice department would open the case again 40 years later when the assailants were old or dead.
NOW you have the FBI and Congress trying to put famous athlete in prison for dog fighting ,this case is getting the same attention as O.J Simpson and you know what I DON'T KNOW IF jUICE DID IT,BUT I FEEL HE KNOWS WHO did it,and I believe he beat the charges once again is a dogs life just as important,as a humans because people kill people for all sorts of reasons and plenty of them beat the charges or get slap on the wrist.
The media jumped the gun on the Chris Henry failed drug test story,of course as we found out later he didn't fail a test.Well he didnt fail a test recently,this is bootlegg journalism at its best,this is why the word alledged is so popular,so the media and people can cover themself when we start spreading untruths.Once again the media needed dirt to sell there product it worked but ,the added damage to Henry can't help him in the long run.
Once again another athlete or should i say another person says something in the media and once again they take it back or clarify there statements.Marvin Lewis said some things about the Police Department in Cincy, something about profiling and players being targeted and he went into damage control mode real quick.Who knows if there being profiled or not but Marv your players seem to break the law alot and get caught .So I don't know Marv about the profiling angle here ,Million Dollar athlete in the club late at night ,boozing ,woman around and the athlete drives instead of calling a car service not real smart. Marv tell your players too,if there going to smoke weed they shouldn't leave it in there car especially if there going to disregard the speed limit.
Why is the 96 Tour de France winner Bjarne Riis confessing now,it's 11 years later,I guess his endorsement contracts have dried up and he figured he has nothing to lose.Well the committee wants everything back associated with winning the race ,by the way in competetive sports your going to have cheating ,but I never new cycling was so baseball, the doping has reached Balco proportions.
The Rocket doesn't look good ,then again he is working out the kinks but if the Yanks can't win some games it's not going to matter what the Rocket does,Cashman will be fired Torre will retire and the Yanks will rival the Bronx Zoo OF THE 1980'S
Trent Green deserves better than this,and Kansas City asking for a 4th rounder for a 37 year old with a history of injury and concussions ,I don't know they might be reaching,but Trent needs time to learn the new play book so on behalf of a man who is up standing to the city of Kansas City,and the organization can KC can you get something done.
Hats off to the boy ,I believe he was 11 who snagged the 1000 pound pig,gee,didn't the lil tike use a gun to snag a beast that large.Question what was he doing with a gun in the first place,hey, when you kill that big i guess thats all you can use.
I read a very interesting blog on here about Michael Jordan being the greatest hoops player of all time,the blogger weighed the pros and cons and made comparisons to other player who played in different time periods.
There is a man who wore goggles and played 20 years in the NBA who is rarely mentioned as the greatest player the slouchs name is Karreem ABDUL Jabbar .ALL this man did over 20 years in the league is become the all time leading scorer win at least 5 championships or 6 he won one in Milwaukee has a young lad and of course he teamed up with a young stud named tricks or no no Magic thats his name Magic Johnson.
Kareem was so automatic that Everyone ,I mean everyone over looks him and took him for granted.H e was good for 40 minutes 25 points and 10 boards every night .Now naysayers will say Magic had alot to with Karreems success ,and it's true but remember Kareem was great way before Magic arrived in L.A. If Abdul didn't have Magic ,Abdul would of went on to probably score more than 38k points because he would of been a bigger focus on the offense.It's strange there is scant mention of Abdul, and let me continue........
The bloggers give horse racing more respect than Kareem and I don't understand ,Jordan was great but he was not great for twenty years and he doesn't have more MVPs or points or rebounds than Kareem so how is he the greatest of all time.Maybe the reason people feel this way is because Kareem was all business and boring,while Jordan was dramatic and had a flair but look at the numbers ,mvps, and championships and blocks and Kareem is probably the best single player in the history of the game.
Once again the age of the net and cable tv .made Jordan some b ball god and he is but greatest I don't know i like Wilt and Kareem better.If you go by numbers Jabbar alone there is discussion
